Maggie

Mags was my first dog. She is the best dog ever. She has an amazing temperment, and will do anything I ask of her. She actually helps me keep all the boarded dogs in line, and makes my job easier!

Boom-boom

Boom is the sweetest dog in the world, and also the laziest. She is just happy hanging around me, laying in the shade and relaxing. Work is not in this dogs vocabulary!

Reckless

This is my sportmix- BC, Whippet, JRT, Staffie, and Border Terrier. He is a high-drive dog who makes me laugh everyday. He works hard, and plays harder. He is still a calm, relaxed, awesome dog to live with. He is my best buddy.

Dead Fowl Day

One of my white turkeys inexplicably died today. It was looking a little peaked yesterday, and was stone dead this morning. I started with 10 of them... now I am down to 3. This last one bothers me the most, as I have been feeding it for months! I know it happens, but when you only have 3 turkeys left, it's just kind of sad. These ones are booked into the processor at the end of Jan. My Blue Slate Heritage turkeys are looking really good, and they go in the beginning of Jan. Tastyyyy.....!

A chicken escaped again today. They are getting out a lot lately. Don't know why. I have been able to rescue all of them before a dog killed them... except for today. This one died. Reckless and the whippet, Blitzen double teamed it, and got it before I had a chance to do much of anything. Stupid birds. Why don't they just stay where they are supposed to??!!
